The storm started in the rain and warm towering storm clouds in the Atlantic Ocean, and formed a force of nature. Thanks to satellite technology at NASA, you can see how a tropical storm into a hurricane completed.
Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission of NASA (TRMM) passed by Irene when she was a tropical storm on 21 août 2011-0024 UTC (20:24 EDT on August 20). TRMM precipitation radar, the data showed that few rounds of thunderstorms near the center of the storm arrived at altitudes above 15 km (~ 9.3 miles). This is known as a round of heat, especially because they rise to the altitude and the large amount of latent heat.
This trip has shown the NASA looking for something warm up with Irene. NASA researchers Owen Kelley and John Stout of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland found a tropical cyclone with a hot tower in the eyewall was twice as likely to intensify into a hurricane.
Today only, Irene is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations of 5 to 10 inches in diameter in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Bahamas and South Turks and Caicos Islands. Hurricane warnings are in effect for the coast north of the border with the Dominican Republic Eastern Cape Deceit Haiti and elsewhere in the Caribbean.
As Irene has just begun with the approach of Puerto Rico, which is far from over. Forecasters say the state of Florida. Thursday morning, Irene could reach Florida. Be the first hurricane to make landfall in the U.S. Continental in three years since Hurricane Ike devastated Texas in 2008.
The TRMM satellite passed over Irene as it was a tropical storm August 21, 2011 at 0024 UTC (8:24 EDT August 20). Data collected with this circuit showed that Irene had several strong storms with the TRMM precipitation radar (PR) reveal that some towers near the storm center of the storm was to reach altitudes above 15 km (~ 9.3 miles .)
